iteration-prototype-fidelity

What problem does it solve?

This skill prevents wasted time and misleading feedback by helping you choose the minimum prototype fidelity that can answer the specific design or research question you’re working on.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Fidelity ladder selection: guides when to use sketches, wireframes, mockups, clickable prototypes, code prototypes, or production beta based on cost and the kind of answers you need.
• Question-to-fidelity mapping: helps you select the cheapest fidelity that answers the question, avoiding “pixel-perfect early” and mismatched testing.
• Research and iteration planning: supports planning layered prototyping across an iteration cycle, including when to stay low fidelity longer versus when polish is required.

Quick Start

Use the skill to plan a prototype escalation for your next feature by asking it what fidelity level you should use for each phase of your iteration and why, given your research goals.
